Biography
Harvey Whille was a union organizer who was affiliated with the UFCW Local 1262 chapter in North Jersey and New York. On 31 May 2007, Edison mayor Jun Choi called in Whille and local unions to resist the construction of a new Walmart store on Vineyard Road, protesting against its unfair labor practices. Whille believed that Walmart would put good businesses out, claiming that Walmart provided low-paying jobs and that it put local retailers out of business. In 2017, he oversaw UFCW Local 1262's endorsement of Democratic Party politician Phil Murphy as Governor of New Jersey.
